Quaint part of town and the facade is newer.
I met an old friend here and this is a favorite haunt for him so it’s conflicting not to provide a resounding affirmation of his faith.
The inside is a stark contrast to the outside and has an older school wooden smokehouse feel. Beer and wine bar is available.
The staff is welcoming and friendly. The menu has that old time feeling of letters on a push board and is very direct and concentrated.
I went with his recommendation of the chopped beef sandwich, BBQ beans and green beans. The BBQ had a strange bark that was a little too crusty and had a foreign hint of something I can’t identify, likening to lighter fluid getting in the pit. The BBQ beans were meaningless and had a bland, chalky consistency. Likewise the green beans were straight out of a can with no noticeable seasoning or even onion, bacon, etc. to kick them up.
They do serve cold beer.
As I mentioned, I’m sad really to write, but I imagine I will get another chance to try it with my buddy and will try other options.
